SnOW-ShedS.


Snow sheds to cover the railway track
have been built at points on the Central
Pacific road where it crosses the Sierra.
AS the trains bound east leave Emigrant
Gap they run through one continuous
shed for thirty-fve miles. The purpose
of the sheds is to prevent the track being
buried under falling and drifting snow.
They secure this end, but are themselves
the occasion of great Inconvenience, such
as the noise, the loss of view and the con-
fning Of the smoke to the train. There
is nothing peculiar in the construction of
these sheds, which have to support only
the burden of the snow But on the line
of the Canadian Pacific, where the road
crosses the Rocky mountains, sheds
of different construction are
needed. Before the road was
completed observations in the noun
tains showed that avalanches must
be provided against. A single avalanche
covered the track for the distance of
1900 feet and to the depth Of fifty feet.
The results of theseobservations were that
the company built four and one-half
miles of snow-sheds at an enormous ex-
pense. The sheds are constructed as fol-
lows: On the high side of the mountain
slope crib filled with stone is construct
ed. Along the entire length of the shed
and on the opposite side of the track a
timber trestle is erected; strong timber
beams are laid from the top of the crib
work to the top of the trestle four feet
apart, and at an angle representing the
slope of the mountain as nearly as posi-
bic. These are covered over with four
inch planking, and the beams are braced
on either side from the trestle and from
the crib. The covering is placed at such
a height as to give twenty-one feet head
way from the underside of the beam to
the center of the track The longest Of
these sheds is 3. 700 feet.

the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton will shut out

This company was organized principally by
the citizens of Greenville. and by dona-
tions and franchises they built part of

In 1897 the first bonds become due. On the same
day this company, the St. Louis, Vandalia &
Terre Haute, leased its road and all branches to
the Indianapolis & Terre Haute Railroad Com
pany for 999 years in consideration that the latter
company would operate said railroad and pay the

St Louis. Vandala & Terre Haute or its stock
holders The Pennsylvania Central owns nearly
all of this stock, and as it has in the past also
worked in harmony with the Indianapolis %
Terre Haute, the payment of these gross earn
ings has been avoided, and the few outside
ockholders could do nothing. Bond county
and Vandalia township are the largest holders
of this outside stock, and through their attor-

will take steps to protect their interest in the
matter. The Pennsylvania Central will also
now be interested IN securing the proper account

lease. The Pennsylvania Central is not made a
party to it, and the purchasers of the controlling
interest in the Indianapolis & Terre Haute will
have entire control of the St. Louis, Vandalia q
